Trial and Error.....Is it important? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1084)   ranked 211 out of 19,310 in questions & answers5 months ago

I often hear people say that there's no instant way to achieve success. It's a long and difficult way. You need to experienced many trial and error before achieve your goals.
Nowadays, many advices come from everyone, even now, we can just type our problem here in mylot and some advices will appear. With so many e-books and search engine, we can type what we need and search everything we need by ourselves.
Seems like trial and error just a waste of time.. That's why people buy many books and ask for advice, to reduce trial and error that maybe happen and, if possible, reach success without trial and error to save time.

What do you think about trial and error nowadays? People wanna do everything faster now. Is it important or a waste of time?
Actually, what do you hope from ask other advices, buy e-books or read other people experience? To reduce the amount of trial and error that may happen to you? To save time?

Please share it herelol Thanks,,

In business, that is probably right. In medicine, its guided by principles and ethics. Whatever the case may be, there will some form of trial and error especially if you are just in the beginning. I guess the harsh reality is there is no fast way to success aside from sound judgment: which trial and error tests will get me to my goal. Easier said than done, eh?


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1084)   ranked 211 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

Hi, biz_qwaszx

Of course,,it will be dangerous for people's life if it related to medicine! Yes, I experienced it and wondering is it normal?
Harsh reality..yes, you're right,,no fast way. Really, easier said than done,,but seems like that's the reality..

Thanks for sharing,,have a nice daylol

Hi ChrysanTflower,

I think trial and error still has a big way especially for a beginner. More so if that is about practical subject and not theories. All we received from internet are theories. And sometimes we received a few ways to solve a single problem. Some problem solution also available or applicable in certain condition or country. So we still have to try it anywhere to see the efficiency of that methods.

Just like when we want to learn to drive a car. We can get all kind of theories on how to be a good driver. But we still to do some practice and it is some kind of trail and error too. Am I correct to give this exampleconfused?lollol


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1084)   ranked 211 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

Hi akulerhappy

Yes, all we received, all advices and information that we've got only theories.. So you think trial and error is important because some method must be tried to see its efficiency.. Of course, you give a correct and simple example. You make me remember the first time I drove a car. In which situation you feel more proud to yourself, when you achieve your goal without trial and error (found a method, practice it and get success immediately) or achieve your goal after 4 or 5 trial and error?

Thanks for sharinglol


myLot reputation of 92/100. akuler (1213)   ranked 2,818 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

To found a way at the first attempt is the most appreciated thing. And this is what we always looking for.

But a few fail attempt would give you an experience too. You know what you shouldn't do in that case. And this is very important especially if you have a problem later on. We might succeed in our first attempt but as time goes by and some conditions changes, we might have a problem again. Experience from our trial and error might help us in this case.

Succeed in first attempt can save our time and money but trail and error can enrich our knowledge and experience. This knowledge and experience is more valued as time goes by.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1084)   ranked 211 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

You're right.. First attempt is the hardest. If we can reach i without trial and error we will feel happy and that happiness can motivated us to reach another success. On the way and as time goes by,,there will be some problems that will appear and each people face different problem..

You describe it perfectly.. Thankslol

Trial and error leads to success.
Advice can be helpful but unless you actually get the bruises and the scars of your mistakes you can't really understand where you ae going wrong in my opinion.

Try telling a child that the flame on a fire will burn. Ok they will understand that there is something bad going to happen but until they really feel the heat they will not know what 'burn' means doh

It's great to receive advice and we should consider it from all the different angles and then plod on, if necessary, tripping up too. Then we will know what not to do next time.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1084)   ranked 211 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

Hi mysDhappy

As usual,,wise answer from you.. That's right, I ever touch fire in stove because I wanna feel "hurt" and "hot".. my parents angry to me but I felt satisfy,, now I know "hot" and "hurt",, but don't you think your purpose search for advices, information, etc,is to save time? If we follow other's advice, we can prevent ourselves to make samk mistakes as them. Do you think it's possible someone can reach success without trial and error? Many method or e-books says, "no need trial and error, just follow this step by step"

Thanks for sharing, mysDlol


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (12085)   ranked 857 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

There must be trial and error to reach success!
No e-book can give us 'experience'.That is what we gain ourselves and only with that will we get there.

It's like going to the top of the mountain by helicopter. We get there but we miss the view and all the bruises - they are what make success.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1084)   ranked 211 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

..all the view and bruises.. yes, you're right. Do you feel afraid of bruises mysD? I must admit I still afraid of bruises.. it's hurt..

Thankslol


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (12085)   ranked 857 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

Bruises hurt yes but they disappear once something elses takes your thoughts away from them. It's like when you receive a surprise gift too. Can you leave it opened for long? whistle If I know that I want something but I will get some bruises while trying to reach what I want, I then decide whether it's worth it or not - and in most cases it still is wink

I think no matter how much knowledge someone gets from other people, what works for some does not necessarily work for others. Some people give bad advice. I think no matter what, we all have to live and learn by our own experiences.
The school of hard knocks, live and learn, when at first you don't succeed, try try again....some of the quotes we use that will never disappear.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1084)   ranked 211 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

Hi mzz663happy

Yes, not all advices suitable for us. We need to learn from our own experience too.
Try, try, and try again.. I experienced this and sometimes I feel tired to try and try again.. But I know you're right, that's old quotes that will never disappear.

let take doing programming coding for example, i think is very improtant to use trial and error to stimulate whether the coding logic able to work out or not. But if daily routine prespective, is really a wasting time as we will try to get help from other first before we really go to trial and error.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1084)   ranked 211 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

Hi wwkeenhappy

That's a nice example, programming! Yes, it depends on the situation and the field. We need other advice first, try it and then experience trial and error.

some of the time, that is the case. sometimes you do just have to give something the trial and error - it could work, or it could not. for me, i had success straight away. well no, i'm still working on it, but i found the way to be successful straight away. as soon as i left school, i started to work at a hairdresser's, where i have been training for the past two years. i'm on my way to being qualified, and although i still won't make lots of money, i'll be well on the way to success!

Hi xsammiex happy

Waw, you have a spirit! I like it,,you've found your way to success straight away. Yes, there will be trial and error sometimes and thus we can see what the things that work for us is and what's not.
Hope you will reach your goal as soon as possible!thumbup

i beleive that trial and error is the only way to make it through all aspects of life. especially in growing up.
if someone dosnt let you make your own mistakes to learn from all your going to do is get into even more trouble than you wouldve started at.
reading books that can help you along the way is a good help and soemtimes extremely usful but i wouldnt suggest going overboard in that sense. you remeber more if you make a mistake than if you read about making the mistakes.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1084)   ranked 211 out of 19,310 in questions & answers  5 months ago

Hi eszbonnahappy

You hit me with that statement "you remember more if you make mistake than if you read about making the mistakes". Seems like I forgot about it. That's right. Sometimes it's difficult for me to understand the explanation about something, but after I do it myself I can understand and remember about all my mistakes and success better..

i do think success takes much work. and we all will make mistakes along our way to success.there is no easy way .did you know success is failure turned inside out? yes i think to be a wise business person you have to know both sides of the road. the key is to pay attention and learn from those failires and mistakes .if you do not you will end up no where fast.

I think its still important for us to make a trial and error.
Learning something to achieve successful has to through not easy way.
May be up to each of us to choose the best way to make our trial and error not too wasting time.
We have to do more efficient and be predicted.Or find the other way your trial and error to save the time.
I remember the motto that practise makes perfect.

Hi shimanajahappy

You're right, we need to choose the best way,,thus we can save our time. Nowadays we need to be more efficient but still, we need trial and error. Practise makes perfect..I wonder what's the meaning of that quote (I read it for 6 years! that quote always shown in my notebook) now I know its meaning..
